Rogue has Teeth

Rogue (2007)

Greg McLean’s first flick was Wolf Creek and though I didn’t care for that cliché ridden piece of garbage, something about him tackling Nature Amuck had me intrigued.

Rogue is the story of a group of tourists shipwrecked by a giant cranky salt water crocodile who wants nothing more than to feast on the Australian branch of central casting’s disposable characters (the A.B.C.C.D.C). We’ve seen this setup a billion times before but McLean pulls out the stops and delivers what may be the best animal amuck film since Jaws.

Mr. Aussie Horror uses quirky pacing to fuck with our expectations to give us some legitimate popcorn in the air, jump out of your seat moments. This flick is by no stretch of the imagination gore free either (plenty of chopping and rendering) and the crocodile itself is one of the most convincing pieces of CG I can remember. So even though I am in the minority, and could care less for my visit to scenic Wolf Creek, Greg’s second stop on the Australian terror tour has me anxious to travel Down Under next time around.

Marvel iPad App is real

well let the digital comic wars begin . ( i stole this from newsarama)

Marvel confirmed this morning through a press release that their iPad App is real, is ready, and is a launch title for the device.
The App itself is free and will be similar to ComiXology's current iPhone application for digital comics, as ComiXology handled development of the App. Individual issues will be offered at $1.99 each !!!!!!!

"Over 500" titles will be available at launch, with new titles added every week. Books will range from classic titles from the 1960s to issues as recent as 2009 and possibly even more recent releases. While no specific timeline was given of how long an issue must be on the stands at comic shops before it will show up on the iPad, and it will likely vary from title to title for the time being. Jonathan Hickman's run on Fantastic Four, which launched only last fall, was specifically cited as coming to the device, for example.

“The iPad is the first device that offers us a chance to present digital comics that are even close to replicating the experience of reading a print comic," said Dan Buckley, publisher and CEO of Marvel Publishing in the release. While the screen is slightly smaller than a standard comic book page, readers have the option of viewing entire pages (the screen's about the same size as a digest, the format most manga and many of Marvel's all-ages books are reprinted in), or in a panel-to-panel guided read.

Also included in the App is a comic shop locator, hoping to bridge the gap from digital to print. The locator will allow users to find a comic book specialty store with easy address and phone listings to "journey even further into the Marvel Universe."

Early adopters get a few comics for free, with New Avengers #1, Captain America #1, Invincible Iron man #1, and Thor #1 all available for "a limited time." Those without an iPad can also get the new App for their iPhone or iPod Touch, though with obvious limitations due to the size of the screens.

Sebastian Stan is Bucky Barnes !!!! who the hell is sebastian Stan

Over at newsarama they are reporting that sabastain saw has lead the roll of Captain Americas sid kick
BUCKY BARNS


for those of you who don't know bucky Barns was captain Americas lil brother In arms during WW2 (think robin with A bit more fashion sense). the heroically named "Bucky" was created by Joe Simon and Jack "the king" Kirby in 1941 he was killed trying to to defuse the bomb the evil Baron zemo had lunched at the good guys, this was the same blast sent cap flying into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic.
as you know the magic waters of the North Atlantic are so cold that if you get tossed in you will flash freeze and be preserved in suspended animation (like ice tupperware ware) . the capsical floated around for till the Avengers found him decades later in a block of ice.

Ms barns favorite son was not so lucky and was just plain ol blownuped.

Bucky's death had been notable as one of the few comic book deaths that the dead folk in question stayed dead,
that was until recently when he was brought back In a story that climaxed with CAPTAIN AMRICA dying !!!!!! now why the writers thought we were going to be worried about Caps demise when they didn't even have the gumption to keep his kid side kick dead is beyond me .
but they brought him back and made him the new cap. but now the real cap is back and awwwww who cares really. not me. not even a little.. ok I care a little I still by the Book but l.....well lets get back to the kid i have no idea who he is

You might have seen this up and comer on Gossip Girl or the briefly-aired show Kings on NBC.....


I have no clue what any of that is but I'm sure it's all very good

so guess Stan has signed on for five films, this could mean a couple of things

this could mean the cap films will all take place in WW2. or it could be that we will see stan take a shot at buckys Winter Solider persona
this will give stan the opportunity to really show his chops and a great deal of range. A crazy Russian General Vasily Karpov found Bucky in the Magic suspended animation ocean and rebuilt him into a cold war 16 million dollar man.
it is a huge leap from bright eyed gee whizz side kick to cold blooded terminator like hit man it's the type of character arc careers are built on. it may also just be a case of him appearing in flash back sequences.

at any rate Im getting pretty excited for this flick. one would think we could hear who the bad guy is and what bad guy he will be playing (let's go red skull clap clap clap let's go red skull clap clap clap let's go red skull clap clap clap ) any day now

stay tuned for more info as i get it

but hold on.....

as all these super hero casting revelations come down the pike It has become very apparent that i don't watch enough teen drama because i don't know who any of these fucking people are. i was equally baffled when the excitement rose over WATCHMEN casting I heard that at the comiccon announcement folks went ape shit but I had no clue who any one other then the bad kid in the 'bad news bears" was

perhaps I read too many comics and don't watch enough movies and TV.
or I may just not give a fuck.
But i fell i have an advantage . because for me Thor will be Thor and not the guy from X thing or Y thing and thats the way i'd really like it to be at the end of the day

I hate

me : yea i hate them.

K Quick : how do you hate mars Volta ?

ME : his voice irritating .. it's drives me nuts. reminds me of robert plants shitty howling

DAME-e-uhn it reminds you of robert plant ?

Me : just in the way it grates on me . it hate it . one note makes me want to kill my self

K-quick : I jus.. hey wait you just slammed mars volta by slamming led Zeppelin ?

Me : yea

DAME-e-uhn : thats pretty bold

Me: thats the way I roll Kids
